Mass Effect
You may have heard of Mass Effect, if not because you follow games and like games, then for the recent hullabaloo that was kicked up over on Fox. Well it is worth knowing about simply because the game is actually that good. The game really focuses on story and it isn't exactly unfair to say that the part that you actually play interactively is just an excuse to string the cut scenes together. The thing is, the voice acting, the virtual acting, the story, it all comes together in such a way that you can't think about much else other than getting to the next part of the story.Of course there are some gripes that people have mentioned - and I could mention some... but when I got to the final stage of the game last night, I just have to say that it was obvious how much effort went into the end.
Some games fade. You can tell that they spent a lot of effort and budget on the first part of the game only to come up short by the end. However there are other games, usually those that are labours of love for the development team, which power through and even climax to a fiery peak at the end. Mass Effect is one of the latter.
Recommended experience for sure!
